From point A, draw a line segment at an angle to the given line, and about the same length. The exact length is not important. Set the compasses on A, and set its width to a bit less than one fifth of the length of the new line. Step the compasses along the line, marking off 5 arcs. Label the last one C. With the compasses' width set to CB, draw an arc from A just below it. With the compasses' width set to AC, draw an arc from B crossing the one drawn in step 4. This intersection is point D. Draw a line from D to B. Using the same compasses' width as used to step along AC, step the compasses from D along DB making 4 new arcs across the line. Draw lines between the corresponding points along AC and DB. Done. The lines divide the given line segment AB in to 5 congruent parts.

A cone has a slant length of 5 and a diameter of 4. What is the volume of the cone? Use π ≈ 3.14.
Olegator [25]

Answer:

V = 19.19 cubic units

None of the options are correct.

Step-by-step explanation:

Volume of a cone is given as;

V = ⅓πr²h

Now, we are given;

diameter = 4 units

Thus radius;r = diameter/2 = 4/2 = 2 units

I have attached an image to show the diagram of the cone.

Now, to find the height (h), we know the radius(r) and we know the slant length(l) . So we can use Pythagoras theorem to find the height.

From Pythagoras theorem;

r² + h² = l²

Where l is the hypotenuse or the slant side while "r" is the radius of the cone while the height will be "h"

Thus;

2² + h² = 5²

h² = 5² - 2²

h² = 25 - 4

h² = 21

h = √21

h = 4.5826 units

So height (h) = 4.5826 units

Volume of cone;V = ⅓πr²h

We are told that π = 3.14

Thus;

V = ⅓ x 3.14 x 2² x 4.5826

V = 19.19 cubic units

Find the equality represented by the graph?
Talja [164]

Answer:

-x+4y

Step-by-step explanation:

Given: graph

To find:the inequality

Solution:

Equation of a line passing through points (x_1,y_1),(x_2,y_2) is given by y-y_1=\frac{y_2-y_1}{x_2-x_1}(x-x_1)

Take (x_1,y_1)=(0,3),(x_2,y_2)=(4,4)

So,equation of line is evaluated as follows:

y-3=\frac{4-3}{4-0}(x-0)\\ y-3=\frac{x}{4}\\ 4y-12=x\\-x+4y=12

As per the graph,inequality is -x+4y

Here, use sign < and not \leq as line in the graph is dotted that is points on the line are excluded.

Find the perimeter of the figure. round all figures to the nearest hundredth Place
slavikrds [6]

Answer:

C

Step-by-step explanation:

The perimeter of a figure is found by adding the sides of all the figures. The figure has sides 13 and 9. Its height is 4 so each of those sides is about 4 feet. So the perimeter is 13+9+4+4 = 30

C is the best solution.
